Podcast appearances and mentions of ryan barton

Welcome back to another episdoe of the Evolved Radio Podcast! In this episode, I'm joined by Peter Melby and Ryan Barton with New Charter Technologies.  Sure, AI is everywhere these days, but we cut through the hype to talk about how things actually changed when ChatGPT hit the scene and suddenly put powerful AI tools in the hands of everyone. Ryan shares how that breakthrough moment inspired him to roll up his sleeves and experiment with AI in real business scenarios. Peter talks about why New Charter decided to take a hands-on approach with AI, instead of just waiting around for vendors to figure it out. We talk honestly about what's working, what isn't, and why sometimes you just have to make your own path with new technology. If you want an inside look at how AI is impacting MSPs or you're just curious about what's really possible right now, tune in! We've got practical insights, plenty of candid takes, and even a few laughs along the way. This episode is brought to you by Opsleader Pro. A place for MSP owners and managers to get the systems and tools they need to build a stable and growing MSP. Part group coaching, part peer group, everything you need to run a successful MSP.

New Charter Technologies has made a significant move by acquiring Orchestrate AI Labs, a company focused on integrating artificial intelligence into managed service provider (MSP) operations. This strategic acquisition aims to enhance New Charter's capabilities by combining human expertise with AI automation, positioning the company as a leader in the evolving IT landscape. Peter Melby, CEO of New Charter, expressed enthusiasm about leveraging Orchestrate's AI technology, while Ryan Barton, the CEO of Orchestrate AI, has joined New Charter as Chief Innovation Officer, emphasizing the transformative potential of AI in the MSP industry.The podcast also discusses the notable decline in ransomware payments, which dropped by 35% to approximately $814 million in 2024, following law enforcement's disruption of several major ransomware gangs. Despite this decrease in payments, the number of reported ransomware incidents on dark web leak sites has reached an all-time high, indicating that while attackers are targeting more victims, fewer are complying with ransom demands. The report highlights that automated tools played a role in 87% of attacks, and sectors such as education, healthcare, and technology were the primary targets.Additionally, the episode addresses the growing concerns surrounding the use of generative AI tools in organizations. A report revealed that companies typically have 67 generative AI tools operating without proper licensing, with 90% lacking approval. The podcast emphasizes the need for businesses to manage AI tool usage rather than impose outright bans, as many organizations are investing in strategies to prevent data leaks and control inputs. The average organization's lack of visibility into how sensitive data is processed poses significant security and compliance risks.Finally, the podcast highlights research indicating that AI is primarily viewed as a collaborator rather than an independent assistant, with 57% of AI use focused on augmenting human capabilities. However, there are concerns that over-reliance on AI could lead to a decline in critical thinking skills among users. The findings suggest that organizations should prioritize enhancing human expertise while actively managing the risks associated with cognitive complacency, particularly in high-stakes industries where precision and accountability are essential. Four things to know today 00:00 Good News: Ransomware Payments Are Down.

Dr. John Vervaeke engages in a multi-faceted conversation with Carla Groom, who is ingeniously incorporating cognitive science into her work. Vervaeke provides a scholarly background on mental models, drawing from philosophy and cognitive science to elucidate how humans make sense of their world. Groom shares her front-line experiences, revealing how these theories translate into actionable insights in government. The discussion evolves into a kaleidoscope of ideas, from the dynamics of mental models in decision-making to the nuanced philosophy of 'we agency' and collective intelligence. The conversation not only dissects the complexities of problem-solving in the public sector but also expands to the cosmos as they explore how NASA scientists navigate rovers on Mars. Focusing on the intricate balance between human cognition and the demands of large organizational structures, this episode is an intellectual treasure trove for anyone fascinated by the crossroads of cognitive science, governance, and human behavior.   Carla Groom is a pioneering force in the realm of behavioral science, currently steering the field of Human-Centred Design Science at the UK's Department of Work and Pensions. With a doctorate in social psychology from Northwestern University, she identified fundamental flaws in traditional empirical research methods, leading her to become a luminary in policy and organizational decision-making. Carla's unique practice focuses on debunking false assumptions in policy design by digging deep into contextual human behavior. Not only is she a sought-after conference speaker and academic peer reviewer, but she also thrives on educating others in her transformative methods. Her multidisciplinary team of experts continually enriches her own understanding, making her a perpetual student in a field in which she has substantially evolved.   Resources:   Carla Groom: LinkedIn | X John Vervaeke: Website | Patreon | Facebook | X | YouTube   The Vervaeke Foundation Circling & Dialogos - workshop   John Vervaeke — YouTube: Bridging Behavioral Science & Government Policies for a Meaningful Work Experience AI: The Coming Thresholds and The Path We Must Take | Internationally Acclaimed Cognitive Scientist The Future of Governance: The Future of Governance Part 1 | Jordan Hall and John Vervaeke The Future of Governance Part 2 | Jordan Hall and John Vervaeke The Future of Governance Part 3 | Jordan Hall and John Vervaeke   Climbing Mt.

Quotes: "Each person will have a different point of entry, and those points won't be the same. You don't have to take everything on at once. It's not possible or desirable because if you overwhelm yourself quickly, it's a good way to discourage yourself from doing anything." - Christopher Mastropietro "I had no idea what was possible in relationship until I started doing the practice of authentic relating and circling, and now it's so much richer." - Taylor Barrett “Behind all the hermeneutics of suspicion, there is a hermeneutics of beauty. There are people out there still pursuing and practicing the good. I strongly believe that I've found good people doing good work and creating a great place. I just wanted to address that concern you might have and ask you to rationally hope that there's an alternative to all of that bullshit and that's on offer here.” - Dr. John Vervaeke “When you're signing up to participate, you're contributing to the creation and the unfolding of this project. This flows in both directions, you're not taking something away, but you're actually giving into it. This is a participatory and co-creative process, and it has to be that in order for it to fulfill and be true to its own intentions.” - Christopher Mastropietro “For those of you who identify and are happy to identify with spiritual but not religious, this is a place to bring disciplined learning to that proposal.”  - Dr. John Vervaeke 

In today's Voices with Vervaeke episode, Dr. Vervaeke is joined by the Executive Director of the Vervaeke Foundation, Ryan Barton. Ryan offers a rigorous and intentional response to John's AI Video Essay (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-_RdKiDbz4) coming from a Christian perspective. Ryan proposes that rather than Christian theology being "unprepared" for the coming kairos, it is possible that the Christian way may in fact be one of the greatest frameworks of guidelines as we tackle humanity's newest threat.  If you enjoy this video, please consider joining our Patreon, the most direct way to support the continuation of our efforts towards creating solutions to the meaning crisis - www.patreon.com/johnvervaeke

Dr. John Vervaeke lays out a multifaceted argument discussing the potential uses, thresholds, and calamities that may occur due to the increase in artificial intelligence systems. While there is a lot of mention of GPT and other chatbots, this argument is meant to be seen as confronting the principles of AI, AGI, and any other forms of Artificial Intelligence.   First, Dr. Vervaeke lays out an overview of his argument while also contextualizing the conversation. Dr. Vervaeke then explores the scientific ramifications and potentialities. Lastly, Dr. Vervaeke concludes in the philosophical realm and ends the argument with a strong and stern message that we face a kairos, potentially the greatest that the world has ever seen.   Dr. Vervaeke is also joined in this video essay by Ryan Barton, the Executive Director of the Vervaeke Foundation, as well as Eric Foster, the Media Director at the Vervaeke Foundation.

I am so thrilled to bring you this conversation today with Ryan Barton. Ryan as an acquaintance for some time. He went through the Calling Course with me a little while ago and has just continued to impress me with the way that he thinks so deeply about his work and the business that he's leading. He thinks deeply about work. We just could just plum the depths of work philosophy together. And this conversation is just such a blast. We talk about really center in on this idea of the transformation that's required in you in order for you to become the next iteration of yourself, in order for your business to continue to grow and to succeed, to lead people where you want them to go. To take an organization, to grow it to its next level, you have to embrace the transformation that comes along with it.

What are the 4Q's?  (1) Favorite films, top 3. (2) An underrated film. (3) An overrated film. (4) A lesser-known film people should seek out. Ari Schneider and Ryan Barton-Grimley have co-starred in two feature films, "Elija's Ashes" in 2017 and "Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers" in 2020.  Ari and Ryan are the real deal, an on-screen comedy duo.  During the Golden Age, movie studios knew the value of keeping comedy together for multiple films.  Ryan and Ari are keeping the tradition alive. Ryan answered the 4Qs way back in DIF Podcast Episode 36! Over four years ago, when Ryan was promoting his leading role in the feature film, "Repatriation." Still, there was no need for Ryan to answer them again when we could focus on Ari's answers. For the record, this was a "remote" podcast.  I showed up at Ryan's home office and we recorded three people with one microphone in a big room with an open door.  Don't expect it to sound like we were in recording booths! Finally, I should mention that "Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers" came to Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2021 and slayed, taking home three Grand Jury Prizes; Best Feature Film – Comedy, Best Actor in a Supporting Role – Ari Schneider, and Best Performance by a Cast – Comedy. So be smart and go to Justwatch.com and watch this hilarious film with horror touches and an 80's vibe.

Full disclosure... I love Ari Schneider and Ryan Barton-Grimley.  I saw the first feature film that they made together, "Elija's Ashes," back in 2018 after meeting Ryan at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2017.  (Ryan was there with another feature, "Repatriation.")  Ari and Ryan are the real deal, an on-screen comedy duo.  Back in the golden age the studios knew the value of keeping pairs with comedic chemistry together for multiple films.  Luckily, Ryan and Ari are keeping the tradition alive. Another disclosure... this was my first ever "remote" podcast.  I showed up at Ryan's home office and we recorded three people with one microphone in a big room with an open door.  Don't expect it to sound like we were in recording booths! Finally, I should mention that "Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers" came to Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2021 and slayed, taking home three Grand Jury Prizes; Best Feature Film – Comedy, Best Actor in a Supporting Role – Ari Schneider, and Best Performance by a Cast – Comedy.

Oh my God, this week we have a whacky one for ya — Pixel Perfect! We have the wonderful Ryan Barton here to play devil's advocate and try his best to put a positive spin on this real journey of a movie —or movie(s). There's many layers. This movie is about a boy who creates a hologram popstar because he doesn't believe his “best friend” is good enough to be her bands lead singer. COOL. It's also a science movie, but also a band movie?? But it could also be about the inner workings of the internet, sleezy record producers, and Japan? Or maybe about the moral question of whether holograms deserve rights? But it might actually be about body possession and also a villain origin story! It's all over the map here, people!!! Get ready for some “dance moves” you've never seen before! And if you're single, you might have to confront yourself to see if maybe it's because you're obsessed with perfection…. Pretty deep huh??

Hop in the gummy ship because we’re heading to a bunch of Disney Kingdoms! Today we’re talking about a mammoth game that launched an iconic series. Joined by the hilarious […]

Director, writer, and actor Ryan Barton-Grimley stopped in to chat with us about the new film Hawk & Rev: Vampire Slayers. We spoke about his many 80's-era influences from The Lost Boys to Die Hard as well as the graphic novel-inspired look of the film. We also learned about plans for potential sequels and interesting components for a physical release!

It's a busy episode of #BTLRadioShow as we're talking Oscar nominations, plus. . . ALEXANDRA LORETH and KEVIN PONTUTI are live talking about their new film making its world premiere at the virtual Cinequest Film Festival, THE YELLOW WALLPAPER. Mesmerizing and hypnotic, the film dazzles with its meticulous and methodical sound design and rich cinematography. Take a listen as we dive into not only the excitement and anticipation of a world premiere but "the making of" THE YELLOW WALLPAPER, starting with the challenges of adapting this acclaimed gothic feminist horror story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman which essentially takes place in the mind of the protagonist, giving a fully tapestried identity to her, and then crafting meticulous tactical visuals that bring the story to life. In addition to discussing the stunning and metaphoric visual design both from a cinematographic and production design standpoint, we delve into the use of sound and the film's overall soundscape, all of which fuel the pacing as it progressively spirals into frenzied intensity. This is definitely one of my "Must See Films" of 2021! And then RYAN BARTON-GRIMLEY is back with us talking about one of my indie faves of 2020, HAWK & REV: VAMPIRE SLAYERS, which now has distribution and is available on VOD and DVD. While everyone will enjoy Ryan's neverending amiability and sense of humor, filmmakers, in particular, will appreciate some of Ryan's pearls of wisdom on making the "lo budget/no budget/micro budget" indie and the challenges to anticipate when trying to get the film to market. Some valuable lessons to be learned today. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

Pop Art Painter Jamie Roxx (www.JamieRoxx.us) welcomes Ryan Barton-Grimley and Ari Schneider, filmmakers (Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers, Film | Comedy 2020) to the Show!  Facebook: www.facebook.com/HawkandRevWeb: rgbfilms.com Says writer/director Ryan Barton Grimley, “So why the heck did I make my film Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers? Honestly… The world is just so serious. It’s exhausting being tapped into media and technology 24 hours a day. It’s really intense how many issues are happening around the world. There are so many problems everywhere and I was looking for an escape… I was looking for a laugh and something heartfelt. I was looking for some much-needed levity and humor. I was looking for a break. Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers is quite simply a love-letter to my childhood and a more innocent and clueless time when everything seemed possible and like it would turn out okay. It’s a love letter to goofy weirdos with big dreams and ridiculous ideas. It’s just plain old fashioned escapism. Sure, there are themes and morals and critiques of the 80’s, specifically toxic masculinity and homophobia in there too, but at the end of the day, I really just hope you enjoy the ride and leave with a nice heartfelt feeling and the knowledge that maybe… just maybe… we’ll all be okay. “ Media Inquiries for Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers, Film: October Coast www.octobercoastpr.com

2020 is a horror show on all its own. So, what better way to alleviate the stress it is causing than by enjoying blood-soaked horror sprinkled with comedy? You can do that as soon as this Friday thanks to Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers, a film made by comedic actor, writer, and director Ryan Barton-Grimley. We spoke with Ryan about how this film came about and how it transitioned from something dark into something more lighthearted yet gory. Hawk and Rev will be having a virtual screening this week at Dances with Films LA. Click here to get your tickets!Synopsis:Philip “HAWK” Hawkins doesn’t just dream about killing vampires… He eats, sleeps, drinks and freakin’ breaths it. After getting kicked out of the Army for staking a fellow soldier with a blunt two by four, Hawk almost dies of boredom working as a night security guard at a deserted warehouse in his hometown of Santa Muerte, California… USA. Just when it looks like all Hawk’s options in life have expired, filthy blood-sucking vampires appear and of course… Nobody freakin’ believes him! With his back up against the wall, his sweaty Karate Kid headband tied on tight, real tight, and hordes of blood-thirsty vampires closing in, Hawk enlists the help of the one person who kind of believes him… Revson “REV” McCabe, a dimwitted, vegan-pacifist groundskeeper. Together they join forces to save the whole entire freakin’ world. Well… At least their hometown anyway. (feature – horror/comedy) Runtime: 84 minutes

And what a show we've got today thanks to our special guests, writer/director RYAN BARTON-GRIMLEY and Emmy-nominated Editor NENA ERB! First up, RYAN BARTON-GRIMLEY "stakes" his place on the show to talk about the upcoming Dances With Films world premiere of his latest film – HAWK & REV: VAMPIRE SLAYERS! Always a fan of vampires and slaying, HAWK & REV is pure hilarity with fun performances and 80's pop culture references (poor George Clooney), not to mention solid production values. And, in addition to writing and directing HAWK & REV, Ryan stars in the film as Hawk, and does editing work as well. Listen between the laughter as Ryan talks about the concept, his love for the 70's and 80's films which are the basis for the design of the film, characters and casting, cinematography and working with cinematigrapher Sean Ayeres, the use of color, time lapse, VFX and VFX, the importance of pre-vis and storyboarding, Robbie Elfman's scoring, and more! HAWK & REV has its World Premiere on August 28th as the Midnight Feature on Opening Night of Dances with Films. It's also closing the festival on September 5th! This is an absolute "Must See Festival Film"! And then Emmy nominee NENA ERB joins us to talk about her latest Emmy nomination for Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series for her work on the multi-nominated HBO comedy series INSECURE. Take a listen as Nena talks about her process for editing a single-camera comedy series, selecting an episode for Emmy consideration – in this case, her Emmy nominated "Low Key Trying", finding the balance between interpersonal comedy and drama, bringing "herself" into the editing, going with her gut, working with director Kerry Washington, the editing process and timeline of pressure from script to editor's cut, mentoring, and so much more. http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

My guests today are Ryan Barton and Carlos Alberti creators of The Timber Show. If you’re on Instagram and you hunt ducks and geese you’ve seen their page and have probably foamed at the mouth a bit. They are pure straight up flooded green timber mallard killers and do a great job of sharing their experiences through their images and posts. Today we talk about how Ryan and Carlos met and hatched the idea for the Timer Show, we talk about the brands they rely on and of course… hunting the flooded green timber of Arkansas. We take a pretty deep dive into their faith and how each has formed a unique 1:1 relationship with Christ and how the timber futures those relationships. It was a great conversation with two stand up guys.

Teresa Lee, Ryan Barton, and Grant O’Brien join Ally for kissing countdowns and compartmentalizing.

Extra Extra is not live! Justin Bieber thought Demi Lovato was “sober, this is terrible, right?” Professional Coder Karlie Kloss is a dumb bitch. Directors stay deleting tweets. And Britney Spears doesn’t know who Andy Cohen is. All this and more with your host Julian Gonzalez, Michael Tomasetti, and Ryan Barton. Let’s get extra.

Chad and Nicholas welcome two dear friends on the podcast. Both Rhea and Ryan have great queer projects coming out, We talk queer influences and queer media. Before they get too deep into that they all give their best Christopher Walken impressions. Chad bravely admits that he hasn't watched the L Word. Rhea talks about her unique short called Boihood, which focuses on queer women getting ready to go to a party and the communal aspect of that ritual. Also Rhea co-directed We're Going To Murder My Boyfriend with Ryan. Also the premiere is on Tuesday in Los Angeles!!! Both projects are an example of when queer voices quit being afraid to tell queer stories.BTW Steven Spielberg does not support queer voices! Well he doesn't support Ryan's queer voice.He also makes quick getaways on bike.We play doubles How Is She Though and This or That. Rhea reveals her gnome nature. Special bonus: your hosts and the guests reveal secrets!!! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

S10 E12 We are in the finals babies! The boys are back and they have had highs and lows. Nicholas barely survived the week with his multiple trips to the ER and Chad won the first show for the UCB All Stars Drag Race. The boys welcome back Ryan Barton a dear friend of the show who has a obsession for turquoise and Chad will talk about it at Ryan's funeral. We cover the special nature of the UCB Drag community before we jump into the episode. The top 4 queens are insanely talented. They are all stars and are deserving in their own right. How do we choose the one true winner? Aquaria turns over a new leaf, Eureka doesn't annoy, Asia is regale as hell, and Kameron shows that shes top 4 for a reason. The boys don't hate Todrick nearly as much as usual. The boys cannot agree on whether Asia is relatable or not. Was Eureka's finale look fully realized? Can a shy queen like Kameron ever be America's Drag Superstar? The final number resonated with the boys. Nicholas is really here for the Aquasia friendship. Also Mystique Summers follows and unfollows the podcast insta. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

S10 E3: Drag Race is bringing it and your hosts are as well! We welcome the wonderful Ryan Barton (UCB Harold team Dollhouse and Queer World.) We cover all the drama with Aquaria and The Vixen and what it means for the greater drag race world. The ghost of Miss Vangie is still haunting the halls of the workroom. RuPaul was not herself and we are trying to get to the bottom of it. Was her body snatched? Was she replaced by a robot? Was she bummed that the sale at Williams Sonoma ended before she got there? The hosts get to the bottom of it, but very quickly because they have no time! Chad's got a hard out so they serve their fastest episode yet. Nicholas will not allow anyone to come for Costco's signature brand Kirkland. Also guest Ryan Barton is giving out his seal of approval left and right!

Today's Guest: Ryan Barton-Grimley, indie film director, The Truth There are essentially nine speaking parts in Ryan Barton-Grimley’s new indie film, The Truth. And two of those parts are in one scene--a couple of actors playing cops who are virtually superfluous to the story--so let’s say seven. Ryan Barton-Grimley, director of The Truth Order The Truth starring John Heard, available by clicking on the DVD cover above! RYAN BARTON-GRIMLEY podcast excerpt: "John Heard -- talk about a saint! We had somebody else, a very notorious actor, notoriously troublesome, cast in that role. He dropped out two days before filming. John Heard came onto our three-week shoot a week in. He saved the day. He's amazing." This is the kind of movie I think Hollywood could learn from in this age of tight budgets and stories that wind out of control. Barton-Grimley tells a taut, suspenseful tale that really leaves the viewer in fear of what revelation—or truth—is coming next. And even when we know, we still don’t know. I heard about The Truth, which stars John Heard, Daniel Baldwin, Erin Cardillo and Brendan Sexton III, because illegal copies of it are flooding the Internet. It’s obviously been the subject of a lot of buzz and curiosity. Cool, huh?
